Quote: Lets say you build a 440 and a 360 both stock stroke to make the same horse power (500hp). Do you agree the 440 will make more torque given the larger stroke? Do you think with properly matched gear and converter for the engines in say a 3000lb car will run the same ET? If they do run the same ET does this mean the smallblock would recover in between gear changes quicker to make up for being down on torque. I am trying to end an argument, so your thoughts please.
I'll take the engine that makes the 500hp at the higher rpm and hangs on better after peak.
I will gear and converter that engine accordingly and take my chances. You can keep the low rpm torque.
